After several years working in the Bank of England and accountancy profession, I gained my MSc. in Archives Administration in 1996. I then went on to be Archivist at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester where I gained wide experience in industrial and photographic collections as well as working within a Museum setting. I then went on to become Deputy County Archivist at Greater Manchester County Record Office running a busy public service covering local government and business records in particular. I also undertook outreach services, cross-sectoral working and developing funding bids. |

My contracts and partners have included archive services, museums, libraries, regional MLAs, cultural consultants, educators, architects and audience development specialists.
